'Ensemble Alondra' consists of 4 young, ambitious musicians with a passion for chamber music. Alondra performs in different formations, from duo to quartet. Annemarie van Viegen (violin), Johanna Stein (cello), Celia Garcia-Garcia (piano), and Kees van der Harst (clarinet) initially came together to play "Le Quatuor pour la fin du temps" by Olivier Messiaen. One of the main characteristics of this masterpiece is bird-song, so the ensemble was quickly named after the song of the lark. The versatility of the musicians is reflected in the choice of repertoire (Beethoven, Milhaud, Loevendie, Messiaen, Xenakis, Khachaturian a.o.) and the varying instrumentation, giving the concerts a refreshing character.
